Going Home.

Kiss nie when my spirit flies; Let the beauty of your eyes Beam along the waves of death While draw my parting breath, And am borne to wonder shore Where the pillows beat no more, And the notes of endless spring Through the groves immortal ring. am going home tonight, Out of blindness into sight, Out of weakness, war and pain, Into power, peace and gain. Out of winter gale and gloom Into summer breath and bloom; From the wanderings of the past am going home at last. Kiss my lips and let me go: Nearer swells the solemn flow Of the wondrous stream that rolls By the borderland of souls, I can catch sweet strains of songs Floating down from distant throngs, " And can feel the touch of hands3 Reaching out from angel bands. fingers frown and Envy's thrust, Friendship chilled by cod distrust, Sleepless night and weary morn, Toil in fruitless land forlorn, Aching head and breaking heart, Love destroye ed by Sanders dart; Drifting ship and darkened sea, Over there will righted bc.

Sour Milk in Dyspepsla.

This seems like novel remedy, yet Dr. w. O'Neill tylls in the Lancet that he has found sour milk good remedy in many cases of dyspepsia, or, at all events, it is good adjuvant in the treatment of slow digestion where flatu- lence and sensation of cramp in the stomach are prominent symptoms. The good effects of sour milk were casually discovered by him some months ago, and since then he has prescribed it with sat isfactory results in many cases. If the curd of the milk should disagree with the patient, it should be strained off, and the whey can then be given, or taken a short time after meals, warm. He be- ieves the efficacy of sour milk in indi- gestion is owing in great measure to the tactic acid it. contains, which is one of the ingredients of the gastric fluid.

Health Hints.


 No person should bathe when the body is fatigued by either mental or physical labor, or immediately after meal. For bathing purposes, in summer, the water should be about 70 degrees, in winter, 80 degrees.
 In case of being bitten by snake or dog, suck the wound (spitting it out bathc it with warm water to make it bleed freely. Tie a handkerchief around the limb above the wound. Give spirit, and water to drink.
 A good linimcnt to remove pain and swelling from any part of the human body, is made by rubbing up one ounce of camphor in four ounces of olive oil. Rub briskly on the aching part aud relief will soon be manifest.
 Au emetic that often proves valuable in threatened cases of croup, is composed as follows: Powder of ipecacuanha a. d powdered alum, each one half teaspoon full. Mix with water, and repeat dose if it does not act in ten minutes.
 Sore throat is common at this time. An excellent garg,e can be easily made by dissolving one teaspoonful of chlorate of potash d two teaspoontuls of gly- cerinc in a tumbler of water. As a garglc this is very soothing to the throat. .-Hearth and Home.

Special to the Gazette.
Taylor, Tex, June 1l.-Early this
morning our city was thrown into wild
excitement over the arrest of Mr.. Thomas
Kings, an ex-railway empIoye. Fer
about two years there have been cars
opened and goods taken frou them at
this point, and no seals broken, and this
matter foiled the railroad men, officers
and detectives, and 1t rather cast a re-
Fiction on the Workmen in the freight
department here, as goods would be

erly sealed; the cars when opened at the
station would be o K, the seals intact,
etc, but part of the freight missing.
Officers and Wstchmen have been
on the lookout but no one caught.
Last night Deputy Sheriff Sudduth,
with others, was on the lookout
and at late hour they came upon Mr..
Thomas Kings, who had taken a monkey
wrench and unscrewed two taps that
fasten the bottom part of the freight car
door, and Ioosened the door at the bot
tom and he had entered the car and
taken therefrom 8 can of lard and case
Cone-naIt dozen cans OF Jelly and was
sitting on his prey when arrested. TIE
trick of opening the door without break
ing the seal is very slick. His object
was not to break the seal at the door snd
thereby avoid a penalty that would put
him in the pen. Mr.. Kings is an Oecs
sional drinker and st this time had 5een
drunk for several days. lie has lived
here several years and never before was
ne suspected of any wrong. He is await
ing preliminary examination. This petty
stealing will be broken up, as deteo-
tives are all along the line Of road.
The arrest of this man is quite relief to
the men here who work in the freight de-
psrtment.

WASHINGTON, June lin the opinion
Of Representative Oates of AIabama, who is
one OF the most able men in the south,
neither Blaine nor Sherman will be the
presidential nominee. He says: "These
two men are pretty equally balanced IN
power. They are the two strongest men in
the Republican party because they are the
ablest. l think neither of them will be
nominsged because it hardly ever occurs
that party dominates its ablest men,
and when they do nominate him it is only
to have him defeated. Henry Clay could
not be nominated. He was always beaten
by smaller men. Great men always an
tagonlz9 too many people and too many
interests. They have too much record.
That was Blaine's weakness. He had too
much record, and Cleveland's great
est strength was that he had
had no record and consequently very lit
tie to cause antsgonism. Allison think
is the man most likely to get the Repub-
lican nomination. He has not too much
record Cleveland l have no doubt will
be the Democratic candidate. NotWith-
standing some little disappoinuments, l
believe the southern states will send their
delegates ~ the national convention
pledged to Cleveland.
